Love it !
The darl pebbles made me wonder at first but the more I look the more they seem to fit in. Nice low angle and a bit of something in the BG.
Good stuff.

Sorry- Bird good too !!!

Sharp and a nice breeding plumage bird. I though that I would hate the pebbles too but only one of them bothers me a lot. Which one? a

[John Robinson]

Art-, maybe middle tall one?

I'd say two: the middle tall one, as John suggests, and the one beneath the bird's left leg.

The pebbles don't bother me Bill, infant, I think they add to the image. Lovely plumage and detail on the bird, I like the pose and the BG colours.

Pretty cool overall. Good low angle, and I like the ruffled dorsal feathers. I love the sprinkling of pebbles, but I have three(!) of them that I could do without. Nicely done Bill!

For me, its the one that merges with the leg. a
